Illegal Alien Costume: Should it be banned?

Recommended Posts

Immigrant activists call out 'Illegal Alien' costumes

Quote

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Immigrant rights activists are calling on U.S. retailers to stop selling two controversial "Illegal Alien" costumes that have surfaced for Halloween, saying the outfits are a broadside attack on illegal immigrants.

Straight forward pole. Yes or no?

I say no it should not be banned. I've seen/worn more offensive costumes before at adult Halloween parties.

Edit: Thoughts?

Where is the costume offensive to Mexican, Central American and etc. illegals? Looke more to me it could be offensive to outer space illegals. People are just too damned sensitive these days. Sheeeesh! If, the costume came with a bolsita and juaraches... different story. I vote NO!

Speaking as a representative of the Zoopitan Galaxy Immgrant Alliance (illegal division) I am disgusted by this cheap insensivtive attack on my people *waves tentacles threateningly* when will americans (small 'a' you're not THAT important) learn that Alien immigrants, many as there are, massively contribute to american society and art, why, take all the pretty crop circles for example, and don't forget our biggest contributions, we piss petrol and shit hot dogs! Boycott this cheap and offensive costume and instead purchase the $69.99 costume that looks much more realistic and also has the hot dog crapping attachment on the back. (All profits to thew Zoopitan Alien Alliance)

"Superstitious" is just a polite way of saying "incredibly fucking stupid".

Hold your tentacles! Don't be so touchy!
Sure... the 'legal' ones DO contribute to to American society. It's the 'illegal' ones who more often DO NOT contribute to American society. Illegals, legals, whoever, needs to lighten-up. People in general, no matter where they are from or their status needs to get a sense of humor. I see no harm with the 'costume'. I think that the reactions are just stretched to the breaking point. Hey! It's Holloween, for cryin' out loud. There's worse costumes than this one.

personally i think bending over backwards and doing everything to not offend everyone makes society diluted and banal.

take that time prince harry went to a fancy dress party dressed as hitler, Oy My God! A prince! dressed as HITLER!??? well, you know what, that was FUCKING FUNNY.

yes it offended some people, well, hell, i've never heard a funny joke that hasn't offended SOMEONE.

I'd really hate to offend those sensitive criminals. :S

If they can't take a joke, fuck 'em. They shouldn't be here to be offended anyway.



You goddamn right. Where the fuck did all this politically correct shit come from? Fuck that! Stupid ass illegal aliens. :|

Agreed!!! Come legally

If the King of England wasn't such a prick, the Indians might still have the run of the land. ;)

Yeah, there's a parallel thread over in Bonfire about the "offensive Halloween costumes" story. Of course, in Bonfire, the more offensive the costume, the more points it scored. My favorite offensive costume is the priest with the altar boy attached to his crotch.

Banned? Eh, probably not appropriate for a school Halloween party, a big hit at an adult party.

Banned from retail sales? Both conservative and liberal groups have pressured retailers to not sell certain items the group finds offensive. We all know the examples. Does the pressure work? That's up to the marketplace.

Hahahahahaha :D:D:D

Does everyone see the difference between us and the bonfire??? On the exact same subject they will laugh and carry on about it like it's a stand-up comedy show. In the speakers corner we throw debate into afterburners and fight like the British Parliament. Pure comedy!!!
